Fluid mechanics

Most popular at the top

  • Fundamental Mechanics of Fluidsby Iain G. Currie

    Marcel Dekker Inc 2002; US$ 99.95

    The third edition of this text illustrates basic equations and strategies used to analyse fluid dynamics, mechanisms and behaviour, and offers solutions to fluid flow dilemmas encountered in common engineering applications. more...

  • Fluid Mechanicsby Ira M. Cohen; Pijush K. Kundu

    Elsevier 2004; US$ 84.95

    Fluid Mechanics, understanding and applying the principles of how motions and forces act upon fluids such as gases and liquids, is introduced and comprehensively covered in this widely adopted text. New to this third edition are expanded coverage of such important topics as surface boundary interfaces, improved discussions of such physical and mathematical laws as the Law of Biot and Savart and the Euler Momentum Integral. A very important new section on Computational Fluid Dynamics has been added for the very first time to this edition. Expanded and improved end-of-chapter problems will facilitate the teaching experience for students and instrutors alike. This book remains one of the most comprehensive and useful texts on fluid mechanics... more...

  • High-Resolution Methods for Incompressible and Low-Speed Flowsby Dimitris Drikakis; William Rider

    Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2005; US$ 189.00

    This book covers the basic techniques for simulating incompressible and low-speed flows with high fidelity in conjunction with high-resolution methods. This includes techniques for steady and unsteady flows with high-order time integration and multigrid methods, as well as specific issues associated with interfacial and turbulent flows. The book is addressed to a broad readership, including engineers and scientists concerned with the development or application of computational methods for fluid flow problems in: Mechanical, Aerospace, Civil and Chemical Engineering, Biological Flows, Atmospheric and Oceanographic Applications as well as other Environmental disciplines. It can be used for teaching postgraduate courses on Computational Fluid... more...

  • Conformal and Potential Analysis in Hele-Shaw Cellby Björn Gustafsson; Alexander Vasil'ev

    Springer 2006; US$ 99.00

    Aims at giving a presentation of ideas that arise from the problems of planar fluid dynamics and which are interesting from the point of view of geometric function theory and potential theory. This book is concerned with geometric problems for Hele-Shaw flows. more...

  • Elementary Fluid Mechanicsby Tsutomu Kambe

    World Scientific 2007; US$ 101.40

    This textbook describes the fundamental “physical” aspects of fluid flows for beginners of fluid mechanics in physics, mathematics and engineering, from the point of view of modern physics. It also emphasizes the dynamical aspects of fluid motions rather than the static aspects, illustrating vortex motions, waves, geophysical flows, chaos and turbulence. Beginning with the fundamental concepts of the nature of flows and the properties of fluids, the book presents fundamental conservation equations of mass, momentum and energy, and the equations of motion for both inviscid and viscous fluids. In addition to the fundamentals, this book also covers water waves and sound waves, vortex motions, geophysical flows, nonlinear instability,... more...

  • Introduction to Fluid Mechanicsby Yasuki Nakayama; Robert Boucher

    Elsevier Science & Technology 1998; US$ 111.00

    Fluid mechanics is often seen as the most difficult core subject encountered by engineering students. The problem stems from the necessity to visualise complex flow patterns and fluid behaviour modelled by high level mathematics. This text overcomes this difficulty by introducing the concepts through everyday examples, before moving on to the more involved mathematics. The various theories of flow have been correlated with real phenomena and, combined with numerous figures and photographs, help the reader place the subject in context. Examples from a broad range of engineering disciplines are included making this textbook suitable for all engineers studying fluid systems as part of their degree. 'Introduction to Fluid Mechanics' is translated... more...

  • Handbook of Computational Fluid Mechanicsby Roger Peyret

    Elsevier 1996; US$ 165.00

    This handbook covers computational fluid dynamics from fundamentals to applications. This text provides a well documented critical survey of numerical methods for fluid mechanics, and gives a state-of-the-art description of computational fluid mechanics, considering numerical analysis, computer technology, and visualization tools. The chapters in this book are invaluable tools for reaching a deeper understanding of the problems associated with the calculation of fluid motion in various situations: inviscid and viscous, incompressible and compressible, steady and unsteady, laminar and turbulent flows, as well as simple and complex geometries. Each chapter includes a related bibliography Covers fundamentals and applications Provides a deeper... more...

  • Analysis and Simulation of Fluid Dynamicsby Caterina Calgaro; Jean-Francois Coulombel; Thierry Goudon

    Springer 2006; US$ 109.00

    Presents a collection of the contributions of a Conference held in June 2005 at the laboratoire Paul Painleve (UMR CNRS 8524) in Lille, France. The aim of this conference was to review the topics and trends in fluid dynamics, with the objective to foster exchanges of various viewpoints on the addressed questions. more...

  • New Results in Numerical and Experimental Fluid Mechanics 6by Cameron Tropea; Suad Jakirlic; Hans-Joachim Heinemann; Rolf Henke; Heinz Honlinger

    Springer 2007; US$ 299.00

    Contains the contributions to the 15th Symposium of the STAB (German Aero-space Aerodynamics Association). This volume covers topics such as high-aspect ratio wings, low aspect-ratio wings, bluff bodies, laminar flow control and transition, active flow control, hypersonic flows, aeroelasticity, aeroacoustics, physical fundamentals, and facilities. more...

  • Advanced Fluid Mechanicsby William Graebel

    Elsevier 2007; US$ 98.95

    Fluid mechanics is the study of how fluids behave and interact under various forces and in various applied situations, whether in liquid or gas state or both. The author compiles pertinent information that are introduced in the more advanced classes at the senior level and at the graduate level. ?Advanced Fluid Mechanics? courses typically cover a variety of topics involving fluids in various multiple states (phases), with both elastic and non-elastic qualities, and flowing in complex ways. This new text will integrate both the simple stages of fluid mechanics (?Fundamentals?) with those involving more complex parameters, including Inviscid Flow in multi-dimensions, Viscous Flow and Turbulence, and a succinct introduction to Computational... more...
